As the 1923 baseball season dawns, the American League pitchers are cooking up a plan to take down the mighty Babe Ruth. The league’s hurlers are convinced that Ruth’s weakness lies in his love for speed, and they’re determined to serve him a diet of slow, looping pitches. According to New York Giants manager John McGraw, Ruth is a sucker for a well-controlled slow ball, and he’s been proven right in past encounters between the Giants and the Yankees.
